Well, pretty much-there is one 10’ run of conduit with wiring we need to do still, and that’s it.
Seeing as Saturday is clean up and load up day, we will address that real quick first thing in the morning and I’ll call it a win. 😄😄🤷♂️
The day wasn’t without its challenges beyond just the killing pace and hours.
Up in the attic, where I had to make some splices to put everything back together again-but wanted to touch as little existing electrical as possible because I just know anything I open up will need attention, the two j boxes I did have to open didn’t disappoint. 🙄
This old cloth covered cable, with its wires just sorta wrapped around each other and taped together with no other wire termination device had to go. It’s amazing these didn’t come loose and burn.
Nice loose wire nuts with a neutral conductor barely connected in this box. 😬
Here’s Denise prepping for a wire pull for a bunch of branch circuits. 😍
The dining hall where we were doing most of the last of the work pretty much looks like a bomb of electrical parts and tools went off inside. 😄😄
The camp director showed up for the first time all week, looked at what was going on, and said” I’ll leave you guys alone. “ 😄😄 Thank you!
I didn’t really have time to take many pictures, but here are a few I got throughout the day of stuff as it was coming together.
There was more-much more-going on that I didn’t have time to take pictures of. Let’s just say that we were extremely busy running around patching things back together, fixing issues, and generally wrapping up.
At the last hour, a totally unexpected issue caused us about an hour’s delay, which is why that last conduit didn’t get done. We finally energized that little bbq gazebo to test its outlet and lights, and noticed a problem with the wiring. We connected our wiring to the existing marked overhead wiring, and the wiring we demoed matched as well. Turns out that this thing has had its hot and neutral reversed since it was built apparently. 😬😬😬
So we had to do some remedy work there. But once that was fixed, we finally got to see it all lit up!
Here it is with the ambiance lighting Edison bulbs in jelly jar fixtures.
And we had also installed little flood lights for task lighting for their portable cooking equipment.
We finally got to see those ball field lights in action at night-they’re bright!👍☀️☀️
Once the power was restored to the dining room, that got all lit up and tested too.
Then we discovered this really cool wooden 4-H sign on the chimney is actually back lit!
It looks so cool!
And by then it was well after 7 pm and time to quit and clean up!
Once we finally made it back to the trailer, it was time for celebratory shots of a job well done!
It’s Saturday morning as I write this, and now it’s time to go out and get this whole mess loaded up and on the road because the next job is waiting for us.
